Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at anyone interested in what war does to people and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Sits nicely alongside The Spirit of the Beehive.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 36 min.
What might put you off: It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Following the Spanish Civil War, a man goes into hiding to avoid arrest by the victorious Nationalist forces.
